Two angels of death came to take the sould of the one from Beth Qustan, but the angels had an argument before him saying that they got the wrong Isa. The correct one is the one who killed and Armenian. The Qusnean Isa then woke up from his vision and told his mother that Isa from Zaz has passed away. After inquiring about this, he was right, Isa from Zaz had died.
